He suggested that if the boy wrote on unused papers, he would do it better.‎ The boy asked the reason. The expert smiled without 　1　 a word, only writing one word “force”. He 　2　 realized that this was forcing himself to treasure his own paper to write it better. When I was a child, I often heard my teacher 　3　 it, but I thought my teacher was not excellent, so I felt it boring and couldn’t understand. Hearing and looking at it, suddenly I came to know its 　4　 and realized that there are only students who didn’t study hard and there was no teacher who didn’t tell the truth. They told me what to do, however, I didn’t follow them. ‎ I believe in my teachers very much. I understand that there is such a proverb,“　5　 you want to climb over a wall, please throw your hat 　6　.” Because your hat is on the other side of the wall, you have already had no choice but to find ways to climb over it. It is with 　7　 a pressure that you will make every effort to work hard. Many 　8　,we always put our hopes in the future, feeling that our life has many drafts(草稿).In fact, the drafts of life that 　9　 us are extremely limited. ‎ For life, the most important is 　10　 to write the best words on the limited paper rather than how much paper you used. ‎ ‎(　　)1.A. saying B.talking C.speaking D.telling ‎(　　)2.A. carefully B.proudly C.suddenly D.anxiously ‎(　　)3.A. regard B.realize C.report D.repeat ‎(　　)4.A. price B.meaning C.reason D.manner ‎(　　)5.A.

We hear these words when someone tells a secret to us. But it can be hard to keep a secret. Often, we can’t help “spilling the beans”, even if we regret it later. ‎ According to Asim Shah, professor in the Menninger Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences at Baylor College of Medicine, US, keeping a secret may well become “a burden”. This is because people often have an “obsessive and anxious urge(冲动) to share it with someone.‎ An earlier study, led by Anita E. Kelly, a scientist at the University of Notre Dame, US, suggested that keeping a secret could cause stress. People entrusted with secrets can suffer from depression, anxiety, and body aches, reported the Daily Mail.‎ But with secrets so often getting out, why do people share them at all? Shah explained that people often feel that it will help them keep a person as a friend. Another reason people share secrets is guilt over keeping it from someone close to them. A sense of distrust can develop when people who are close do not share it with each other. “Keeping or sharing secrets often puts people in a position of either getting or losing the trust of someone,” according to Shah.‎ He added that talkative people could let secrets slip out. But this doesn’t mean that it is a good idea only to share secrets with quiet people. A quiet person may be someone who keeps everything inside. To tell such a person a secret may cause them stress, and make them talk about the secret.‎ Shah said that to judge whether to tell someone a secret, you’d better put yourself in their position. Think about how you would feel if you are told that you mustn’t give the information away. Shah also recommended that if you accidentally give up someone’s secret you should come clean about it. Let the person know that their secret isn’t so secret any more.‎ ‎1.The underlined phrase “spilling the beans” in Paragraph 1 probably means 　　　　. (　　) ‎ A. keeping a secret B.discussing a secret C.letting out a secret D.thinking about a secret ‎2.Why may keeping a secret become “a burden”? (　　)‎ A. Because people who tell a secret may feel regretful.‎ B.Because people who keep a secret may feel stressed.‎ C.Because people may feel depressed after letting out the secrets.‎ D.Because people are forced to share their secrets with others.‎ ‎3.From the passage, we can infer that 　　　　. (　　) ‎ A. people may feel guilty if they keep secrets for someone close to them B.keeping a secret may lead to distrust between close friends C.to tell talkative people a secret may cause them much stress D.it’s always a good idea to share secrets with quiet people ‎4.What’s the best title of the passage? (　　)‎ A. Keeping secrets is a burden B.Don’t tell secrets to anyone C.Always share secrets with others D.Others’ secrets are no more secrets Ⅲ. 选词填空 阅读下列短文,用方框内所给单词的正确形式填空。(每词限用一次)‎ choose　opinion　say　high　begin　why　against history　tell　move September 10 is a day for us to say thank you to teachers. But next year we might do it on another day. A draft amendment(修正案草案)on education laws advises the State Council(国务院) 1.　　　　 Teachers’ Day to Sept 28, which is the birthday of Confucius. ‎ China started to celebrate Teachers’ Day in 1985. There was no special reason 2.　　　　 Sept 10 was chosen. ‎ But many people think it’s not a good 3.　　　　. Teachers are always too busy on Sept 10, because the new term starts at the 4.　　　　 of the month. If the day is at the end of September, it will be near National Day and teachers can enjoy the two holidays together. Besides, people think Teachers’ Day should fall on a day with a 5.　　　　 and cultural meaning. ‎ Confucius is an important educationalist and philosopher in Chinese history. His ideas help to shape our values. He 6.　　　　 us to love our family and respect the elder. ‎ More importantly, Confucius started China’s private education system.

Chinese people name him as the “best teacher in ancient times”. ‎ Recently, the State Council is collecting public 9.　　　　 on the change. In an online survey, 65 percent of people supported the change as of Sept 10.But about 3l percent were 10.　　　　 it.  ‎ Zhang Feiran, 13, from Changsha, gave his teachers cards as gifts on Sept 10.‎ ‎“To me, it doesn’t matter which day is Teachers’ Day. It’s just a day to remind me to be grateful to teachers,” he said.‎ Ⅳ.任务型阅读 Centuries ago, most people in England had only one name—their first name. In the 11th century, five or six of 50 people in a village might be named William, and it was easy to get confused. But in the Middle Ages,(A)人们找到了一个能准确地描述每个人的方法. If there were four Williams in one village, one might be referred to as William, the son of John. A second might be called William from the hill. A third, William the blacksmith. And a fourth, William the brown haired. In conversation, people might refer to the four Williams as William John’s son, William hill, William smith, and William brown.‎ It was 300 or 400 years before these extra(附加的) names gradually developed into last names, or surnames. (B)These surnames were passed on from generation to generation. Many surnames were based on father-son relations. The “son of” part was added to the father’s first name, like Johnson, meaning John’s son. Surnames like Hill described the place where a person lived. They are the most common type of surname. A third kind of surname was based on a person’s job,such as Baker, Carpenter. The fourth kind of surname was a nickname(绰号). A man whose surname was Bear might be as fierce as a bear. ‎ Have you ever wondered why some surnames are so common? The most common surname in the English language is Smith. Being able to make metals(金属) into tools was an important skill in the Middle Ages, and many people were trained(C)blacksmiths. The most common American surnames are Smith, Johnson, Williams, and Brown.‎ ‎1.将(A)处画线句子翻译成英语。‎ ‎  ‎ ‎2.从文章中找出与下面句子意思相近的句子。‎ ‎“It was easy to mix up them.” ‎ ‎  ‎ ‎3.将(B)处画线句子翻译成汉语。‎ ‎  ‎ ‎4.(C)处画线单词“blacksmith” means 　　　　in the passage.
